Maisam Moglai

Maisam Moglai was an Iranian embassy official in the Sudan during the 1990s. Moglai used Iran's alliance with Sudan to secure asylum for terrorist Carlos the Jackal, as Carlos was a veteran fighter for the anti-imperialist cause, which Iran supported. Moglai and Paria Yelzadeh succeeded in giving Carlos sanctuary in Khartoum until 1994, when the Sudanese authorities handed him over to France.
